My search has ended...

For forty years I have been!
One way or another, trying my utmost to mimick my brothers.
I have fought in wars, I have brokered peace between enemies.
I have climbed mountains, and sailed upon the seas. But alas the time has come
for me to face my Master and start discarding my outer plaster.

Armed with this knowledge I rejoice for I dare say
I am of the opinion that I have found my voice!
Hear me sing, hear me moan for finally I am going home.
